The train schedule in Hummut is hopelessly unreliable. Train A will enter Intersection
X from the west at a random time between 9:00 am and 2:30 pm; each moment in that
interval is equally likely. Train B will enter the same intersection from the north at
a random time between 9:30 am and 12:30 pm, independent of Train A; again, each
moment in the interval is equally likely. If each train takes 45 minutes to clear the
intersection, what is the probability of a collision today?
